Pikes peak in colorado is approximately 4300 m above sea


Pike's peak in Colorado is approximately 4,300 m above sea level. What is the boiling point of water at the summit and will a camper need longer or shorter time to cook food at the summit as compared to the cooking at the sea level? Assume the molar mass of air is 29.0 g mol-1, ?vapHm for water is 40.79 kJ mol-1 and the temperature at Pike's peak is 0?C. Use the following equation to calculate barometric pressure: P=Po*e^(-gMh/RT)
(where Po atmospheric pressure, P is the pressure at 4300 m, T is temperature at Pike's peak, M is the molar mass of air and h is the height)
